U.S. Officials Fear Saudi Collapse If New Prince Fails

NBC News ^ | 17 June 2016 | Robert Windrem, William M. Arkin

[Lorianne]

What's up? They are really pushing this Saudi Prince story.

[bgill]

Anything to drop the news story of the o’s tax paid vacay.

[DIRTYSECRET]

So the question is: What’s wrong with that?

[alternatives?]

Does anyone know when they say the guy is “a longtime US favorite” does that mean he is a good guy or bad guy? I don’t know anymore.

[Paladin2]

I thought that Foggy Bottom wants a Caliphate in the ME

[JohnBrowdie]

I think the point is that we have learned the hard way what happens when an established regime falls in a muslim country; a brand new addition to the ranks of state sponsored terrorism.

[jjotto]

That means he’s the guy that bribes American politicians.

[dfwgator]

Let it fall.

[beethovenfan]

....and the problem is??

[enduserindy]

I’m not convinced there are any “good” Saudis with power or money.

[enduserindy]

Make that terrorist state.

[JohnBrowdie]

indeed. better term.

[Stayfree]

The only thing that matters is what benefits us the most...

[HarleyLady27]

The ‘Prince’ of Saudi is funding Hillary’s campaign, plus he went to visit Hussein...

He can’t maintain his own country, but he can try to influence our elections? Don’t think so, WE, the American Voters have this election and WE, the American Voters are backing Trump....

GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

[RedWulf]

>Does anyone know when they say the guy is “a longtime US favorite” does that mean he is a good guy or bad guy? I don’t know anymore.

If the state department likes him then he’s probably no good.

[rllngrk33]

Saudis have been funding terrorism for decades, so what if it collapses. Their oil production will collapse when the foreign workers who do all the work abandon them due to the new regime.

Seems like a win-win for us and the world, we no longer need their oil. They can literally go pound sand.

Fear Saudi collapse? We should welcome it

And then have a complete travel ban with anyone from that country so their cancer does not spread any more than it has already

[Cicero]

So it’s a choice between covert terrorism and open terrorism.

[rovenstinez]

Maybe the STATE Dept could come up with a plan to help a government emerge with Freedom of Press, Freedom of Religion, and elect their officials. Like they do things in Israel.
